Every time I try to open Aegisub it doesn’t open, no response. It’s been like this for a few months.
I tried different versions- pacman -S aegisub
, and a few other AUR packages.
I tried pamac build
and obviously makepkg
.
When I checked journalctl
after running aegisub-3.2
in the terminal I got this output:
Apr 18 12:31:18 ** plasmashell[1204]: trying to show an empty dialog

I looked it up and there were a few suggestions regarding qt environment variables so I tried running the following file:
start.sh:
#!/bin/bash
QT_LOGGING_RULES="*.debug=false"
export QT_LOGGING_RULES
exec aegisub-3.2
But again, journalctl
:

There were a few major updates since it started (I believe around Oct-Dec 20’) so I guess it’s not because of outdated packages.
The problem looks to be exclusive to Aegisub but it’s a KWin error and there have been 2-3 updates to the Aegisub package since I it started with no change.
